Quote by Ellen Barkin
The way Hollywood portrays mothers - youre either all good and sai

The way Hollywood portrays mothers – youre either all good and saint-like, or youre all bad. And I think the real honesty of motherhood is not given a voice in movies. I miss that as an audience member. – Ellen Barkin

Im upset that theres no Terminator with a woman in Arnold Schwarzeneggers role. Because that would make just as much money. – Ellen Barkin
